My ball python, Harker, is really scared of this one stapler.
Every time he sees it, he balls up.
I was grading today and sure enough, the stapler was still scary.
However, for the first time, I introduced a second stapler!
He was nervous at first…
But it didn’t take him long to warm up to it.
Pretty soon it became his best friend!
There was nothing the new stapler couldn’t do!
Including protecting him from the other stapler.
The moral of the story?
My snake is a weirdo.
Update: Today I took Harker to my office, where he met another stapler.
He was fairly apathetic at first, but eventually they got on pretty well!
This stapler was smaller than either of the others, but one thing was sure: this stapler was definitely not scary!
Am I any closer to understanding my snake’s strange relationship with staplers?
Absolutely not.
UPDATE: it’s 2016 and I’m pleased to announce that he’s FINALLY gotten over his fear of the stapler!
He likes it now!
Tell him I’m proud of him
This post is so pure!
This is the best story.
